I believe I read somewhere that MS has no plans to enhance IE for at 
least a couple of years. Given the penetration of IE, why bother, eh? 
But it does offer a nice window of opportunity for the developers of 
other browsers. Already, Moz is way ahead in features. (And security, it 
would seem.)

I like the "Link Toolbar". Used properly, it can make site navigation 
easier. Oh yeah, that extension to disable Flash animations is nice!
